Description

Decadent Snickers Cheesecake is the ultimate dessert indulgence! This luscious treat features a rich chocolate cookie crust, a creamy cheesecake filling loaded with chopped Snickers bars, and irresistible layers of caramel, peanuts, and chocolate chips. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or whenever you’re craving something sweet and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped Snickers bars (about 8 fun-size bars)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
  4. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined. Fold in chopped Snickers bars.
  5. Pour half the cheesecake mixture into the crust. Drizzle half the caramel sauce and sprinkle half the chopped peanuts on top.
  6. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake mixture, caramel sauce, and peanuts. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
  7. Place springform pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until center is nearly set.
  8. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour. Then remove and cool on a wire rack for another hour.
  9. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For clean slices, dip a knife in warm water and wipe between cuts.
  • Use mini Snickers if you prefer smaller chunks throughout the cake.
  • Top with whipped cream or extra caramel before serving for an extra wow factor.
